The claws are coming out.
The 101st stone crab season began Wednesday and South Florida seafood restaurants including the venerable Joe's rang in with decadent meals of the succulent crustacean parts.
The season will run until May 15, and anyone with a trap and some expertise in claw harvesting can get in on the action.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission sets rigorous regulation to recreational stone crabbing, so harvesters will want to make sure they're getting it right.
Aside from being tasty, stone crabs can actually grows their claws back. So proper harvesting dictates crabbers may only remove claws from the crabs without killing them. This way crabs remain plantiful in Florida waters for future season to enjoy their buttery goodness.

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48]
EZEK 10:1 Then I looked, and behold, in the firmament that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
EZEK 10:2 And he spake unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling `wheels', even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
EZEK 10:3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
EZEK 10:4 And the glory of Jehovah mounted up from the cherub, `and stood' over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Jehovah's glory.
EZEK 10:5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaketh.
EZEK 10:6 And it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.
EZEK 10:7 And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took `thereof', and put it into the hands of him that was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
EZEK 10:8 And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.
EZEK 10:9 And I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like unto a beryl stone.
EZEK 10:10 And as for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel have been within a wheel.
EZEK 10:11 When they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
EZEK 10:12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, `even' the wheels that they four had.
EZEK 10:13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling `wheels'.
EZEK 10:14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
EZEK 10:15 And the cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
EZEK 10:16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also turned not from beside them.
EZEK 10:17 When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
EZEK 10:18 And the glory of Jehovah went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
EZEK 10:19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of Jehovah's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
EZEK 10:20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
EZEK 10:21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
EZEK 10:22 And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.

On this day one year ago, you joined our family on the outside and have brought us such joy ever since. You are so sweet--especially when your beloved big brother is crying--but also so strong and independent. You know what you want and you are not afraid to demonstrate your displeasure if things do not go your way.
You have 8 teeth, your favorite foods are cuties and yogurt, and you are basically able to run.
You make the funniest snorting/smiling face when you are excited and you are now developing the same love for books Elden has. Whenever you wake up before Elden you are so happy to go with us to get him when he wakes up. You are curious, brave, friendly, but at times reserved. You try to figure out how everything around you works, and I daresay we may have an engineer on our hands.
Your daddy and I are so beyond thrilled to call you our daughter. We love you always and forever.

a cool new way to retrieve Style Attributes easily
I am sure, you must be knowing this by now. Just listing down this cool feature implemented in UFT 11.52 onwards. This is about retrieving style attributes of web objects runtime, for example retrieving background color, font, font color etc. All we used to do earlier is using objects property to retrieve such values. something like below
But now this has been made even more simplified to use in UFT. we directly use GetROProperty to retrieve the value or even use the property to identify the object. This method is called as Style/* Notation Web Object Identification and this process of object identification is called as Identification using Web Object Identifiers.
Web Object Identifiers can be used to limit the number of similar candidate objects to identify by using it before the regular object identification process. User does not specifically need to do any thing, this will be handled internally by UFT once you use any of the object identifier types.
Below are Web object Identifier types
CSS Web Object Identification – Using Properties defined in CSS.
User-Defined XPath Web Object Identification – Identification using defined XPath.
Automatic X-Path Web Object Identification – using UFT generate XPath property.
Attribute/* Notation Web Object Identification – using the
attribute/* notation to access custom native properties of Web-based objects or events associated with Web-based objects
Style/* Notation Web Object Identification – using the
style/* notation to access the values of CSS properties for a Web-based object.
In this post we are just discussing Style/* notation and how this simplifies our scripting.
using style/* notation, we can access the values of CSS properties for a web based objects . here is how to retrieve Value using GetROProperty using style/<property>.
to retrieve properties of google button.
Print "Font Name: " & Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").GetROProperty("style/font-family")
Print "Font Size: " & Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").GetROProperty("style/font-size")
Print "Color : " & Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").GetROProperty("style/color")
Print "Background Color : " & Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").GetROProperty("style/background-color")
as mentioned earlier, we can identify and perform action using Style/*<property>
below example to click on the google button using background color property
You can find how easy is your scripts now, comparitively when we use CSS (DOM) to retireve style attributes. Here is the older method just for you to compare.
Set btn =Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").Object
Set btnStyle = btn.currentStyle
Print btnStyle.backgroundColor

Students will be asked to consider their heartbreak to create an app that makes a difference to the world.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 25, 2016
MAD-learn by Crescerance, Choose2Matter, and award-winning global collaborative teaching and learning pioneer Vicki Davis announce the new "MAD about Mattering" global collaborative app development project. This new project will take the best of compassion driven innovation, mobile app development, and global collaboration to create a new model of collaborative engineering between students of all ages.
Students will be asked to consider their heartbreak to create an app that makes a difference to the world.
"Following your heartbreak is the single most effective way to help individual and organizations to discover their purpose and find an innovative way to act on it," says Angela Maiers, author of the best selling book The Passion Driven Classroom and founder of the Choose2Matter movement.
"Innovation is not an event; it is an invitation to use your genius to better the world. We are not only inviting students; we are imploring them to create something that could make the world a better place," says Maiers.
This project will happen this semester as teachers develop and share best practices for collaborative app development. A toolkit for teachers will be made available at the end of the 2015-2016 school year as an OER (open education resources), allowing other teachers across the world to follow this method of quad engineering.
"So far, many students have collaboratively written, researched, created video, and even built virtual worlds, but now it is time to engineer together," says Vicki Davis, author of the award winning Cool Cat Teacher Blog and an original founder of the Flat Classroom Project, winner of the ISTE 2006 Online Learning Award. She has founded more than 20 global collaborative projects spanning the globe with thousands of students of all ages participating. "This is truly the next generation of global collaboration and we're recruiting top classrooms to help perfect this method and share it with the world," says Davis.
Vicki Davis was one of the earliest adopters to implement the MAD-learn program in her classroom, and quickly realized that it was an ideal tool for global collaboration."We've seen students around the country do amazing things in their classrooms when they are given the ability and access to create technology in a simple fashion," says Crescerance co-founder, Alefiya Bhatia. "Just imagine the potential of connecting these bright minds that exist in every country and enabling them to work TOGETHER to solve their heartbreaks!"
The MAD about Mattering project will kick off on February 1 and culminate with an online MAD-shark tank competition the first week of May as students pitch their apps to potential investors and vie to launch their apps to the world.
"We're eager to create a network where students can not only create amazing apps that help our world, but also get access to mentors, industry experts, and investment to help take their ideas to the next level. We hear about phenomenal entrepreneurs all the time who have received investment from angel investors or VCs, why not a 15 year old?" asks Alefiya Bhatia, co-founder of Crescerance and creator of the MAD-learn program being used in the project.
To learn more about this project please visit http://www.madaboutmattering.com or contact madaboutmattering(at)crescerance(dot)com. You can also follow the movement on social media with the hashtag #appsthatmatter.

A memory foam cushion may be an excellent choice for you to obtain that fantastic evening's rest if you're having trouble relaxing. This source might help take the stress and anxiety from determining which is the very best alternative for you if you have actually never before acquired any http://amerisleep.com mattress.
What Memory Foam is.
Before you can likewise think of changing to this bedding, you need to identify just what it is. It is an item, which presses according to the weight and dispersal throughout the surface area. This bedding is acknowledged for giving better assistance to the back, consequently allowing the natural positioning of the body while relaxing. It is furthermore connected with lessening tension variables on specific locations, making it a great deal a lot more comfortable compared to spring based systems.
Identifying the Fundamentals: Gel vs. Plant-Based.
A gel memory foam mattress is similarly as it appears: foam sheets with gel or grains combined in. This variant allows you not be as cozy throughout the evening. While producers of the gel bedding state it allows you to be cooler, there have actually been research study studies that disclose this is unreal.
Plant-based is the last type. As the name advises, the bedding is made from plant-based items. This variant has actually gotten much less troubles concerning cozy retention and smell compared to others have. It similarly provides the fastest recovery time, allowing you to transform without that sinking feeling. It furthermore is a lot less more than likely to consist of harmful chemicals like VOCs, unlike the different other types.
A Word on Density.
Before getting your brand-new bedding, you need to understand exactly what the density is. If you do not get a thick adequate mattress, you can sink too much right into it, and also it will certainly not have the assistance you call for. It is probably that you will certainly discover it worried and also tough if you get one that is too thick. Typically, you prefer one that remains in between 4.0 and also 5.3 additional pounds for the most comfort.
This bedding could be located in a choice of suppleness's based upon the density. The denser the foam is, the more powerful the mattress is. It is required for you to understand exactly what you like before you make the purchase, as the optimum density of 4.0 to 5.3 added pounds may not be your ideal cushion.
Even with usual ideas, the density has definitely nothing to do with the expense. It applies that lowered density sheets is cheaper to generate which may impact the price, yet it is not continuously genuine.
Before you purchase a memory foam mattress, you need to do your research study and also recognize exactly what you are looking for. This will certainly make the search a lot less requiring and also far more efficient.

Charlton v Everton (12.45pm) Despite the fact that Les Reed has now had another week to get to know the squad he's been working with all season (excuses, excuses), I can't see him turning it around. 0:2
Aston Villa v Middlesbrough (3pm) Villa are due a result before their promising start slips away. Boro are a hit and miss side – I predict miss tomorrow. 3:1
Fulham v Reading (3pm) Should be an interesting match. I don't think there will be much in it. 1:1
Liverpool v Manchester City (3pm) Home win. Gerrard to open the scoring. 3:0
West Ham v Sheffield United (3pm) I reckon Neil Warnock's side might nick something from this one. 0:1
Bolton v Arsenal (5.15pm) Bolton tend to bully Arsenal, but the Gunners will be eager to bounce back after drawing with Newcastle. An early goal would make all the difference for the Gunners. 1:2
This week's Premiership predictions continued
Newcastle v Portsmouth (1.30pm) For once it's not 'Arry's side who are down to the bare bones and Newcastle might also struggle with a Uefa Cup hangover. 1:1
Manchester United v Chelsea (4pm) The BIG one! Anything can happen in these tense top-of-the-table clashes, but I fancy United's form (Celtic excluded) to carry them through. 2:1
Tottenham v Wigan (3pm) Few would have predicted Wigan would be above Spurs going into this match, but I think the roles may be reversed by full-time. 2:1

United We Stand: How One Art Education Alum Raised Voices, Opened Minds as a Student Teacher
As he began the final semester of his student teaching placement at Northview High School in Grand Rapids, Mich., Darius Baldwin wanted to do something to help his students see beyond America's divisive political landscape and understand the importance of working together. So, he turned to a powerful and familiar tool: creative expression.
In early 2017, the Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University (KCAD) alumnus ('16, BFA Art Education) began working with Northview students, faculty, and staff to shoot an uplifting music video for a special rendition of "America the Beautiful." Baldwin, a musician as well as an art teacher, performed the music, while Northview students provided backup vocals and displayed artwork they'd created depicting icons of equality and social justice.
Baldwin is now an art teacher at Gwynn Park High School in Maryland, but his work at Northview High School continues to resonate. A recent article from School News Network explores Baldwin's hands-on, collaborative approach to engaging students' hearts and minds, and tells the story behind the "America the Beautiful" video they created together.

3 Mayıs 2017 Çarşamba
The on-premises data gateway ensures that you can use your business applications in the cloud with your on-premises data sources. It acts as a bridge that provides quick data transfer and encryption between on-premises data sources and cloud services. The gateway now supports Power BI, Microsoft Flow, PowerApps, and the Logic Apps feature of Azure App Service.
Today, the gateway functionality in Azure enters general availability. This comes with a major update for the gateway that allows users to specify the region where the gateway cloud service and Azure Service Bus are used to give admins even more control of their gateway settings.
To use the gateway in Azure, you first need to create an Azure resource and associate it to your gateway. Then you can use it to establish on-premises connections in your Azure cloud services. Today, Logic Apps is the only supported feature in Azure. To start using the on-premises data gateway with Logic Apps, follow the steps in Using the gateway in Logic Apps.

No. 25 Oklahoma Takes Care Of No. 24 Kansas, 35-13
Oct. 24, 2009
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -Chris Brown scored three touchdowns, and No. 25 Oklahoma throttled Todd Reesing and the nation's second-leading offense en route to a 35-13 victory Saturday over No. 24 Kansas.
The Sooners (4-3, 2-1 Big 12) intercepted Kansas' career passing leader on the Jayhawks' first three possessions. Dominique Franks set the defensive tone with an 85-yard touchdown return of the second interception of the NCAA's fifth-leading passer.
Landry Jones, starting for injured Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Sam Bradford, threw two touchdown passes and had little trouble with a Kansas defense that has been undergoing a midseason overhaul. Kansas (5-2, 1-2) hurt itself with penalties as well as turnovers and had only two field goals until Reesing's 5-yard TD run with 4:27 left.
Oklahoma's powerful defense held Kansas almost 200 yards below its season average of 503 yards. The Jayhawks had hoped for a victory that would elevate them to Big 12 contender status, but it was another Oklahoma domination, the Sooners' sixth straight victory over them.
Kansas' Dezmon Briscoe, the nation's leading receiver with 134 yards per game, was held to 60 yards on seven catches - 209 fewer yards than he had in a record-breaking day against the Sooners last year.
Jones' stats - 26 of 38 for 252 yards - were similar to Reesing's 22 of 42 for 224. But he was not sacked and he threw only one interception, and it was not his fault. Reesing, who had averaged 356 yards in his last five conference games, was sacked three times and hurried constantly.
On the game's first play, Quinton Carter picked off Reesing's pass and gave the Sooners the ball on the Kansas 46. Brown eventually scored on fourth-and-goal from the 1.
The Jayhawks had a second-and-goal from the 13 three plays into the second quarter when Franks left his man and started to creep up behind wide receiver Bradley McDougald in the right flat. Timing his jump perfectly, he grabbed the ball in front of McDougald and sped 85 yards without being touched or hardly even challenged, giving the Sooners a 14-0 lead.
Oklahoma, in the meantime, was making plenty of mistakes of its own, but the Jayhawks just couldn't take advantage.
A botched punt gave Kansas the ball deep in Oklahoma territory, but all it could manage was Jacob Branstetter's 39-yard field goal. Then an interception that bounced off receiver Cameron Kenney's hands gave Kansas another short field. But the Jayhawks could not move the ball and Branstetter kicked a career-long 57-yarder as time expired in the first half, making it 14-6.
The Sooners put away the game with two long scoring drives in the third quarter.
Aided by a roughing-the-passer call on Jeff Wheeler and the first of D.J. Beshears' pass interference penalties, Jones moved Oklahoma 75 yards in nine plays, capped by his 9-yard TD pass to Adron Tennell.
On their next drive, Jones hit his first three passes for 36 yards and then Beshears was called again for pass interference. An 18-yard pass to Tennell got it close and Brown scored his second touchdown with an 8-yard pass.
Jones connected with Ryan Broyles for 45 yards in the fourth quarter and then Brown broke loose on a 26-yard touchdown run, making it 35-6 with 11:10 to go.

Re: Archiblad Nisbet and Elizabeth Hogg
In reply to:
Archiblad Nisbet and Elizabeth Hogg
Heidi Thacker 1/12/06
I am a researcher with the Nesbitt/Nisbet Society and am pasting in an article I wrote a couple of months ago for the newsletter.It concerns the Greenholme line which includes Archibald and Elizabeth Hogg.
According to Robert Chancellor Nisbet in "Nisbet of that Ilk," the Greenholme line is believed to have begun in the 1390s by Murdock Nisbet, a younger son of Nisbet of Nisbet in the county of Berwick. There is obviously some connection between this illusive character and the Murdock (1480-1558) of the Scots Bible, perhaps a greatgrandson or great nephew.However, to my knowledge, none of the many researchers who have tried to locate this mysterious Murdock have had any luck in documenting him.So, I will set down the data that has been found.
George m Margaret Clerk
Mariota - July 1523 relieves uncle, Murdac, of all things between herself and John Kennedy
William - June 1529 heir of George, burgess of Ayr, received 80 merks from John Kennedy to pay debt
of his mother now spouse of John Kennedy.William gives title to land to mother & John.
1. JAMES gives Greenholme to his son by a sasine dated 1514
2. ROBERTgives land to his son by sasine dated 1519 upon which Murdoc, tutor and governor
(guardian) of James, a minor, asked instruments.(Note: It is possible that this Murdoc is the author of the Scots Bible and was a brother of James, Robert or George above.)

*indicates line accepted by Lord Lyon in 1957 as per Nisbet Narrations.
1 A very weathered headstone in Raphoe graveyard, Co Donegal, with whole lines missing states"Jean Hamilton wife to James Neesbit…..1624 ……….died 1 Feb 1679…also John & Andrew their sons who died 1645 and JANeesbit grandson to the said John died 26 Feb 1696."With so much missing at the beginning, it is hard to cipher the family history.
2 Nisbet Narrations states his tombstone indicates he died "age 50" which would make his birthdate 1743; according to the Galston Parish records he was christened in 1737.Is this another case of mistaken identity?
3 submitted lineage to John Campbell, Lyon King of Arms in 1787; then residing in London.It was not registered.

5 married son of Walter from the Carfin line which established Nisbet Plantation in Nevis, West Indies.

Col. Hutchinson; and to the left is another design of the same school, bearing a long record of the births, marriages, and deaths of the ancient but now extinguished family of Nisbet of Greenholme.
"Sacred to the memories of Archd.

Hi, that is a terrible feeling, to feel bored, not knowing how to spend your time. Often boredness goes hand in hand with loneliness. When your question is: "What to do all day and how to connect with people at the same time?", please read on.
A couple of years ago, I was surfing the internet, looking for information. Information about how to make a website. I didn't know zero about this. By accident, I found Wealthy Affiliate. I knew nothing about this company, but the good thing I understood at this point was (English is not my native language); They offered a free ride for 7 days, no credit card needed. So I created an account. And I promised myself, if this isn't any good, I will figure it out in 7 days, and I am out again. They won't get any money out of my pocket. I saw myself leave again before I even got started. Oh my, was I wrong!
The Wealthy Affiliate Community
After I created the account, I did the walkthrough. And during this walkthrough, I received the first messages from people from all over the world, to welcome me to the Wealthy Affiliate community and to wish me good luck and success. It felt like hearing I hit the jackpot while lying in a hot tub! It is amazing how the Wealthy Affiliate community is helping! It is beyond any of my expectation. I can not explain it in words, you just have to experience the warmth and helpfulness yourself.
They told me that any interest could be made profitable. (In website jargon, an "interest" is called a "niche".) My brain started tumbling around because I had a lot of ideas on my mind, those ideas just had some problems to come out. At least, I didn't know how.
Build Websites When You Are Bored
From day 1 until now I haven't been bored for a second! I am building websites, and I interact and help others in the Wealthy Affiliate community. The first website I build is This is kids art. It is in the maintained mode right now, just because I am so busy not being bored 🙂 My second website, I work on that website weekly, is Work at Home Future. That website is displaying all kind of wonderful tips & training about creating a website. I even translated this website into Dutch, my native language. That is my third website. On my fourth website, I display all pictures my husband makes on the road. But all those websites is not exactly where my heart lies. My main interest is in how to transfer a spiritual and healthy lifestyle to others. These two websites I write in my native language Dutch because it is easier to express myself in my own language. Kleurboekjes (coloring life) and Aloesvera (a healthy lifestyle). And my seventh website, you are on right now. Your Siterubix dot com. You can imagine, I AM NOT BORED anymore. Don't just visit websites when you are bored, build websites yourself when you are bored!
Facebook, YouTube, and Playing Games
You can fight your boredness on Social Media. You can spend all day addicted scrolling down Facebook. You can fill your time watching YouTubes. Or spending your time with online games. But that's not giving you the satisfaction you are looking for. Nor does it give you the connection you want to feel. It will only give you a feeling of uselessness.
Help Me I Am Bored
Are you still bored? Not knowing what you should do? Come on in and join me. Not only I, but a whole community is waiting to welcome you and to help you. Do as I did, create an account and see for yourself. Complete access for 7-days! No credit card needed, just a healthy curiosity.

Here Lies Love Review
By David Byrne
Imelda (the pitch-perfect Ruthie Ann Miles) falls in love with Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino (Conrad Ricamora), a rather astonishing fact, since Aquino went on to become the major critic of the Marcos regime. She first sees him (as do we) all dressed in white, in nerdy black glasses, but lithe and magnetic, committed to healing his country. The affair ends.
From Here Lies Love
Ninoy, you were my first love
But you said I was too tall
The heart gets stronger and grows colder
For the Rose of Tacloban
According to Katherine Ellison in Imelda: Steel Butterfly of the Philippines*, Imelda had once told Celia Laurel, "And last but not least… it's pulverize Ninoy Aquino." Asked why, Imelda said that he had courted her in their youth, "but when he met this rich girl he dropped me like a hot potato."**
Source:Marcus Apollo
**The source is Katherine Ellison, Imelda: Steel Butterfly of the Philippines. On the Google Books preview , the pertinent paragraphs are on page 88.
(From Here Lies Love)
You play around with that woman
Didn't you know I cared?
Walking 'round, ev'ryone can see
A sleazy cheap affair
What's the matter with me baby?
Am I not good enough for you?
If you prefer that slut—okay
I'll tell you what we'll do
Men will do anything
For a little piece of mind
Men will do anything
That's how you keep them in line
Men will do anything
For some sweet tranquility
Men—will do anything
And there's nothing you can do to me
Do anything that you want them to
If you leave them on their own
They'll sign here on the dotted line
If you ignore what they have done
(From Here Lies Love)
Went to the house of Mary Lasker
Saw Matisses, Picassos, Renoirs and Gauguins
Golf course and flowers, statues and stables
I met a Whitney, Rockefeller and Brown!
And they were dancin', dancing together
Dancin', oh so beautifully
Dancin', dancing together
Dancin', oh as if in a dream
From Kyodo News
MANILA - Former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos has not been informed about the extent of the destruction caused by super typhoon Haiyan in her former home city, Tacloban in the central Philippines, which has been hardest hit, an aide said Tuesday.
The 84-year-old "cannot be stressed" because she has just been discharged from hospital, Marcos' media relations officer Lito Gorospe told Kyodo News by phone.
I love my little people
You don't know what it's like
I'd rather be back in my Leyte
Back in the Quonset hut
"Hello Mr. Zeibel? Yes, my name is Jane Ryan—Mr. Saunders and I would like to make a deposit…"
"Breakfast with George Hamilton, disco with George
It must be us who truly serve!"

CARL YOUNG - The Artist Within
The Artist Within
By Marla Santos
Carl Young is the only artist in the world who creates life-size Figurative Sculptures in Glass.
The story goes: "When I was down on the beach in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, I came across an old man who looked much like a wizard, and he had a walking stick that he said was magic. He said: 'I know you're an artist, and I want to show you something.' He told me to get in his little boat. As he took me down and around these cliffs, he tells me there is something inside this cave that he wants me to see. He warned me to be very careful and said: 'I know you probably don't believe in dragons, but there's something in there that you need to see.' So we go up to the cave, and the old wizard brings me inside, and it turns out—there's a dragon. We capture the dragon, take him back to the studio, the wizard feeds him the glass, and the dragon's breath makes the glass shoot out! And that's how we make the sculptures."
Young began by making metal and ceramic sculptures. The metal sculptures can be aluminum, bronze, brass or copper. Some of these are on display at Spearmint Rhino clubs across the country and at Sapphire Club, here in Vegas. It was in 2007 that he relocated to Baja, Mexico, and found "the wizard." It was then that he decided to create the world's only life-sized figurative sculptures in glass. These awesome one-of-a-kind art sculptures are so beautiful that high-end art collectors buy them to add to their collections.
Artists make sculptures out of clay, wood, and even marble. Young does something completely different. He uses real-life models, to create an impression of their body. STRIPLV models, Playboy models, and many beautiful women have been honored to be Young's muse. Covering their nude bodies with plaster, he captures their exquisite forms, revealing their torsos and derrieres in a work of art that will remain forever beautiful, unchanged by time. You, too, can have a one-of-a-kind art piece made of your body.
The plaster is similar to what doctors use for casting a broken bone. A model needs to be naked or wearing a g-string. Shaving the parts of your body that has hair on it is very important, as is applying Vaseline all over your skin so that the plaster will release without giving you a Brazilian. Then a pose is decided. A simple pose takes less than two hours, but holding a more complicated pose or full body pose can require multiple impressions lasting over two days or more.
"Sometimes a model can't hold a pose for the 1½ to 2-hour time that it takes for the plaster to set and then he has to start again. One model had her wrists tied onto something and was suspended. She was standing and it was very difficult. We ended up getting a nice sculpture out of it, but it was very difficult. There was a man who wanted to immortalize his manhood. He took Viagra, so he would remain hard during the casting procedure. He was especially proud of the outcome and it hangs in his house so he can show it off."
When Young covers you with plaster, all you have to do is relax and hold the pose. First he takes an impression of your body in a pose you've chosen. Then he creates a perfect original and a reproduction mold. Then Young calls on "the wizard"—and then very, very carefully, they wake up the dragon and feed him the glass. The dragon's breath does the rest and the results are amazing! Young claims almost all the models he has made into sculpture have wanted to do more after their first session. So how did Young end up with this unusual art career and working on the beach down in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, where he feels free and his dog can run freely on the beach?
"My grandfather, Karl Jung, was a heart surgeon and owned Surgeon's General Hospital in Chicago. Clarence Platt, my maternal grandfather, was a missionary to the Navajos, and was the community pastor in Harbert, Michigan, where he helped raise this crazy artist who just wanted to do his own thing on the beach!"
"Growing up, we lived on the beach next to the Warren Sand Dunes on Lake Michigan. I built sandcastles and I dammed up the water from coming in, and that was really fun doing stuff with my hands. Then we had these dirt roads, that for some reason, frogs and tadpoles and life started coming to fruition from the creeks and stuff. So I was down in the creeks playing there and also in the mud after it rained (basically, the same material I use now)." Was this the beginning of an art career?
"My mother had been the president of the Chicago Models Association. My father was an inventor of photographic material, and later he ended up working in a machine shop for Northwestern University's prosthetics research lab. They did the beginning of mild electric controls. They'd make a fake hand and they'd glue stuff on there, and he'd make all the linkages that would make the hand function like a real hand. This was before Hollywood's special effects knew how to do anything. They were making that stuff at Northwestern University and they were the biggest research labs for prosthetics in the U.S. I had no concept of the importance. He had a photo assignment for the Chicago Art Institute, to shoot the impressionism section in 3D, and again, I had no concept when I was looking at Monet and Van Gogh, all originals. It was all roped off for him to shoot these 3D pictures, but I didn't care, because I was more interested in the girls with short skirts walking around Michigan Avenue. He didn't like that and he got pretty upset with me. I was clueless as a kid."
"Then we moved to Gary, Indiana, where my mom remarried Paul Ireland and they had three motion picture film labs for processing and printing motion picture films. Back in the day before videotapes, and now CDs and digital, everybody had to use film. We were the biggest lab between Hollywood and New York. We built all the film printing and processing equipment at the beginning. I ended up as a janitor, then I was driving a delivery car up and down into Chicago. I was mixing chemicals in vats with 400 or 500 gallons of developing agent, and then we processed millions and millions of film. We did more porno film than anywhere else in the world. We did everything, and I ran the film end for him."
"I got divorced, finished running the film lab, and I got out of the Midwest and came to Laguna Beach and saw the art in Laguna. I was living there and I met a guy who had a limousine business contract with Olympic Gardens, the first high level strip club out here. That was probably 20-some years ago now. We just brainstormed, and I said that there were these soft-sculpture butlers that you could position their hands so you could put a tray on them, and they charged $10-20 grand for them. I said we could make them out of people. We could cast real people. He thought it was a great idea and we called them Lapikins and Tablekins. I thought it would be good to get out of Laguna and move to Vegas. What was I thinking…right? I started getting stuff for making plaster casts and mannequin pieces, but I had to go back to Laguna to get some stuff. He was into Ecstasy and being crazy. He drove his Toyota Land Cruiser at 100 mph into a semi parked in an alley, and it blew up. He killed himself, so I didn't have a partner anymore. I went back to Vegas and decided to drive a cab for a while."
"The family business back in Indiana collapsed and my mom passed away. I had to go back and had to shut down everything. We had film vaults of old movies. We even had The Cisco Kid in there, and I had to figure out what to do with everything. When I came back to Vegas, that's when I started to transition into another world."
"My friend Egor had a limo, and his girlfriend Donna D'Errico was driving it. She was an adult entertainer over at Club Paradise. A Playboy talent recruiter found her and then Donna became the September 1995 Playmate of the Month in Playboy Magazine. She came back and said: "Carl, what are we going to do?" I said: "Maybe I should be your manager." We went to Hollywood, bought a boat, and lived on the boat in Marina Del Ray. She later became Mrs. Nikki Sixx and starred in Baywatch, Married with Children, and Austin Powers in Goldmember.
"I then decided to go back into making functional art, but that became boring real fast. I decided to cast high-end performers from home. The first girls I made casts of and then sculptures of were aerialists with 6-packs. My motivation for all this had to do with my family. The first issue of Popular Photography, my dad shot it with a camera he made. In my mind, I always thought it would be hard to compete with what he did in his life, but I wanted to do something on my own that is artistic with a similar family background. I decided I wanted to do high-end Fine Art. In 2001, when the 9/11 event happened, Vegas came to a standstill. I began creating sculptures full-time. I started casting performers from the Cirque du Soleil "O" show. I moved on to ballet dancers, a lot of showgirls and strippers, celebrities and actors. I had five or six friends paint on the sculptures, and they looked nice, and they are still on my website. I'm considering doing a project like that, and I'm talking to some people at the Bellagio. But, I still felt that I was not doing high-end Fine Art. The sculptures were no longer sculptures…they were paintings. I learned how to do cold cast metal and ceramics, and now we're getting into areas where most people can't even do it. I started designing my own equipment to do ceramics, metal and mirror tile. Commissions came in and galleries wanted my sculptures, but making them took a huge amount of space and time."
"I decided these things were fun and I enjoyed doing them and figuring out how to make those things happen, but now let's do something that nobody can do…let's do glass. Let's find a media that is the most difficult to control, and no one else has figured out how to do it… They've tried. I began to set up a production studio down by the beach in Rosarito, Mexico, next to the Titanic set. There was gunfire every night as I worked outdoors in the studio, and the Mexican drug wars got started. I literally dodged bullets, but kept working. I built my own kiln (an oven for burning, baking, drying or firing pottery) down in Mexico. Everything I need is there, except sometimes I have to go over to San Diego for certain ingredients. But it's complicated bringing anything that looks like white powder across the border. I spent probably eight years messing around, building equipment, testing equipment, firing a kiln, firing it again, breaking stuff and firing it again, learning what systems didn't work. One of the things my dad had taught me was: 'If you want to learn photography, and the process is photography, you start with one type of developer, one type of film, one type of camera, and then you start learning all the variables as you test.' Now, that would take you forever, but that was his philosophy, and that was a little bit of my philosophy about how to master and make glass sculptures."
"I love working down in Mexico. There are just no words to describe the sunlight by the ocean passing through the kiln glass. I'm on the beach and I feel free, and my dog can run freely on the beach."
Recently Young has moved back to Las Vegas part-time, where he has another studio, but still loves his Mexican beach. His work can be found in galleries in Southern California, Las Vegas, and online at ArtBrokerage.com. You can order from the master inventory or have a custom commission sculpture made. Whether you select Glass, Ceramic, or Metal, along with your choice of background and lighting effects, your sculpture can be displayed unique to your own liking. Clients can choose to be cast in the studio, in the privacy of a hotel room, or at a Day Spa. ForeverYoungSculptures.com

Investing in the proportion market and a lot more precisely purchasing the exploration and exploration sector can be a worthwhile and likely rewarding venture. We are seeing escalating fascination with the proportion sector due to the fact Australians now take into account reveal expenditure as an important part of these over-all expense plan.
If you want the resources area and get an appetite to rate part of forget about the account to a market with the opportunity of larger dividends, and much more danger, then contemplate buying the time area through Original Open Offerings (Dpo) course of action.
An Dpo is where a corporation first difficulties stocks and shares to the community, when it comes to checklist for a stock trading game like the Australia Stock Exchange. Many reasons exist why the administrators and shareholders of your organization would like to go general public, for instance raising funds for working capital, financial debt monthly payments, development or expansion by acquisition. In most cases, it is usually a well established corporation or relationship the place that the recent proprietors need to turn a few of their fairness (control) into income. Reference firms which we'll be emphasizing in this post generally list using a stock exchange to boost cash to advance hunt for tenements, new challenge products, government prices and working money.
Quarterly report carries a vibrant and potential reference basic, and is at the moment among the list of world's foremost reference nations around the world. The Australia means field comprises Minerals as well as energy. In Vitamins, we've got explorers and providers included in precious metal and silver and gold coins, mineral beaches, expensive diamonds, golf club ore along with other steel associated ores. In Energy, we have petrol and gas, hot and coking fossil fuel, coal joint methane gas and uranium.
You may to get an Initial public offering subsequently by yourself a seasoned Purchase Consultant which is an Sanctioned Representative of an Hawaiian Economic Support License. You want a superior Counselor with sector friends since if you commit with an IPO directly lacking Counsellor you risk staying scaly backside or you cannot having an percentage when applying with the community. When you have a partnership by using a full-program Expenditure Advisory firm then you can ask them to set up a company Allocation to safe and sound your spot in virtually any personal new reveal concerns. A Firm Portion is when your Specialist has set-aside an permitting for hisOrher clients from the Guide Boss of the Dpo or strong on the enterprise intending to collection. Another excuse to use a total-services Purchase Expert is really because would like to only get involved in an Initial public offering they will believe are going to be effective. The minimal membership is a Dollar2,000 AUD investment for a source Initial public offering, which with a stock price of 20 cents means 10,000 gives, or Dollar100 gain or reduction for every 1 cent transfer.
Frequently, the corporate consultant or expert will amount the proportion problem for much less to the recognized monatary amount in an effort to create the Dpo irresistible to retail store investors, as well as most likely make certain that dilemma is thoroughly signed up. Your Investment Counsellor are able to give you their thoughts and opinions with the corporation using the prospectus and his awesomeAndher study. If you are obtaining an Initial public offering by having a full-service Investment decision Specialist then you never shell out any charges with regards to impression or perhaps the organization allocation simply because they're given by the enterprise meaning to checklist (usually exposed inside the company's prospectus). Remember that you simply have to become a 100 % client with the Advisor's firm before you obtain their view on any individual ventures.
An up to date illustration showing an Dpo i always helped boost money for was Western Manganese Limited (ASX Signal: WMN). The investment listed on the change up 25% (up 5 pennies) on the first day of buying and selling, this is a really good end result. I chose to raise capital because of this IPO from my buyers considering that the company features a powerful aboard of owners, it is an Australia dependent firm centered in Canada, it's all around interface facilities, and has now the chance of great-class Manganese eradication to call not many main points. Some other reasons we consider a Manganese expenditure is a great move, in my purchasers, happens because 90 percent off Manganese taken per year is employed in the metal marketplace as an alloying real estate agent, plus its the 4th most employed precious metal with regards to tonnage after golf club, lightweight aluminum and water piping. I also put in my personal money by using our exchanging accounts in the Traditional western Manganese IPO.
My business is regularly outdoors talking with Perth structured reference unique companies, investigators, coping with directors, diamond experts and corporate advisors to offer my consumers and myself the most effective information and facts, IPOs, and expense recommendations probable. Locating the best source of information investment strategies will take a lot of work and extensive in-household exploration, which is the reason you require an Investment Specialist specialising. In addition, i use and reap the benefits of out-sourced expenditure referrals (no-Initial public offering recommendations) utilizing whole-support Purchase Advisors, for my particular profile, that i contentedly pay out full service fees to receive. After I give Dpo proportion or guidance to my purchasers, I usually only difficulty one or simply two recommendations a month because about making an investment for a longer period-time period and enabling industry do the help us as opposed to looking to speedily deal in short-expression dangerous effects.
If you'd like to possibly take advantage of buying mining and discovery then this is the ideal time and energy to start understanding as well as becoming associated with this rewarding industry. For anyone who is engaged then study all you can for the methods area, and discover your hair a consultant Investment Specialist.

Brad Paisley Opens For The Rolling Stones Tonight
Brad Paisley played LP Field in Nashville as part of CMA Music Festival on Sunday, June 14th, and he returns tonight for what might be the most unforgettable performance of his career — opening for The Rolling Stones.
Brad says that his biggest obstacle is winning over those fans who didn't exactly purchase the ticket to see him play.
"It's a different experience. The hardest part about opening for somebody like The Rolling Stones is there are people that spent their entire lives crossing their fingers that that band was going to come through here or somewhere where they could see them in their lifetime before they don't tour anymore, and they have to sit through 45 minutes of me before they get that chance (laughs). I'm aware of that so I'll try my best to make them at least for the people that didn't want to see it say, 'Eh, that was pretty good,' and for the people that thought it'd be pretty good I hope to prove them right."
Brad will resume his headlining Crushin' It World tour on Saturday, June 20th in Chicago.
The singer was honored with the International Artist Achievement Award by the Country Music Association before taking the stage at LP Field on Sunday. It was presented to him by Keith Urban.

The Sordid Tale Of Ikhwan
By Sheikh Shahid
29 June, 2015
With India's Defence minister, Manohar Parikar's bilious remarks of neutralizing 'terrorists with terrorists' & the subsequent chain of killings in sopore, of some Jammat affiliates & surrendered militants, by unidentified gunmen, the latent memories of 90s once again aroused the fear of the sanguinary Ikhwan amongst the people. A wave of panic & paranoia has taken over the valley especially in this northern town of Sopore, the nucleus of resistance.
Nevertheless, people need to be as hopeful as ever, for Kashmir has survived countless overt & covert counterinsurgency manoeuvres of India over the decades of its occupation. If, for the time being, resistance got weakened by these dirty tactics of India, it however could not suppress the burgeoning spirit of freedom. On the contrary, decades of occupation has only helped Kashmiris unite for a single cause.
History bears witness to the purge of everything obstructive to the dominant freedom sentiment,the dreaded Ikhwan being no exception. Besides the ideological renegades, since the dawn of insurgency in 1989, India has used the repressive renegades- former militants-turned pro-India agents, to stifle the pro-independence voice & to further their grip on Kashmir. They were employed for carrying out the extrajudicial executions of militants, human rights activists, journalists & others deemed threat to the idea of occupation & later quite conveniently dismissed as intergroup rivalries. As Victoria Schofield notes: 'Numerous Jamaat activists were eliminated together with Hizb-ul-Mujaheddin members. Ikwan-ul-muslimoon also targeted the media & is believed to have been responsible for the bomb blast in September 1995 at the BBC offices in Srinagar, when photographer, Mushtaq Ali, was killed.'
Since, they worked under the tutelage of the Indian army, they would loot, rape & terrorize the hapless Kashmiris, appropriate properties & extort money with no fear of any consequence. If sometimes arrested, these Ikhwan members were released on orders of the security forces or government authorities & no one was prosecuted ever for human rights abuses. Instead, they were paid with lump sums & other fringe benefits & sometimes festooned with state awards. One such farce was conferring of India's prestigious civilian award, Padma Shri on the killer counter-insurgent Ghulam Muhammad Mir alias Muma Kanna in 2011. Not surprising though, that it was none other than the playboy Farooq Abdullah, the former CM of J&K who had recommended Muma Kanna for the award.
It was in early 1994, when Mohammad Yusuf Parray, aka Kuka Parry alias Jamsheed Shirazi, the folk singer-turned militant who later turned into a renegade began to cooperate with the Army to carry out the dirty counterinsurgent wars, after having surrendered to the Indian security forces in 1993.Soon afterwards, many such militants followed the suit & started to switch sides & cooperate with the army. Prominent among them were the former National Conference MLC, James Ahmed Shah & Liaqat Khan who joined the movement shortly afterwards, operating in the southern Kashmir town of Anantnag. At the end of that year, all the three renegades had merged into the feared Ikwan-ul-muslimeen, of which Kuka Parray's Ikwan-ul-muslimoon was a splinter group, which later became the most dreaded among all others.
Renegades like such proved highly useful for the Army especially in conducting the assembly elections of 1996. They played the dual role of informers & killers at the same time, thus suppressing the militants to a great extent, who otherwise would have proved to be a great encumbrance to the elctions. As Farooq Khan, the then SOG head, is reported to have said that without these groups, it would have been very difficult for the elections to be held in a peaceful atmosphere. Obviously this was much to the convenience of the Army, as things were being done the extrajudicial way that too without any strain of accountability on them.
Apart from countless other killings, there are many high-profile killings & fake encounters where the role of Ikhwan was suspected. For instance, the Chattisinghpora massacre in March 2000, where 35 sikh men were murdered by some unidentified gunmen. As usual India blamed foreign militants, while locals knew it were the renegades. Following Chattisinghpora, Panchalthan encounter occured in which 5 civilians had been picked up by some unknown persons & later killed by the CRPF & passed as the militants responsible for the Chattisinghpora massacre. Bodies had been charred & defaced beyond recognition. On May 21, 1990, Mirwaiz Moulvi Farooq, the head of moderate faction of APHC & spritual leader was shot dead at his home by some unidentified gunmen.
The human rights activist, H.N Wanchoo, a Kashmiri pandit who had documented and filed writ petitions for hundreds of custodial deaths was assasinated by unidentified gunmen in December 1992. Likewise, Dr. Abdul Ahad Guru, the founder-head of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Department at SKIMS was kidnapped by unidentified men on March 31, 1993. His bullet-riddled body was spotted by Soura residents on April 1. Apparently, he had treated some injured militants.
Another noted human rights activist Jalil Andrabi was abducted by unidentified men in March 1996 & tortured to death. Later, the police chargesheet against Major Avtar Singh, the prime accused revealed that he was accompanied by '15-20 Army personnel and two renegade militants working for the Army.'
Zafar Mehraj, the veteran journalist was shot & critically injured by unidentified gunmen while he was returning from an interview with Kaka Parray. Abdul Ghani Lone, the founder of People's Conference was assasinated by unidentified gunmen on 21 May, 2002 while commemorating the twelfth anniversary of the death of Mirwaiz Maulvi Farooq. And to the same chain of assasinations was added one more prominent name of Dr. Jalal-ud-din, who functioned as SKIMS Director after serving as Head of Department of Cardiology, who was shot by a group of unidentified men at his home at Pampore on July 18, 2013. Alluding to the renegade militia, in January 2011, former Hurriyat Conference chairman Professor Abdul Gani Bhat said at a JKLF seminar that most Kashmiri intellectuals, including Dr. Guru, had been killed 'by our own people'.
However, soon after the 1996 elections the Ikhwan bubble started to shrivel with the unqualified public dislike of their ruthless machinations & the subsequent political & official apathy. To quote Victoria Schofield again 'By the late 1990s, the usefulness of the counter-insurgents was being undermined by their own behaviour. In October 1997, DGP, Gurbachan Jagat, reported: Continued services of the surrendered militants was proving to be counter-productive in view of reports of excesses during the operations.' Many important figures of Ikhwan had contested the 1996 elections, in which Kuka Parray of Awami League won a seat, became MLA in 2002 from Sonwar, defeating NC's candidate Mohammad Akbar Lone. This created a sort of wedge between NC & Ikhwan, thus giving further thrust to the official apathy. With the official security cover striped off, Ikhwanis became a naked target for the militants. From then on Ikhwan was isolated & left alone to fend for themselves. For example, In 1998 alone, 49 Ikhwan members were killed in different attacks. On june 21, 1998, nephew of Kukka Parray, Manzoor Parray, aka Wafadar Khan was killed in a landmine blast. Setha Gujru alias Mohammad Ameen Wani who had 90 cases of murder registered against him & who had boasted to the weekly Chattan about having killed 300 persons was killed in 2001. The infamous renegade, Kukka Parray was killed in 2003, one year after becoming MLA in 2002. In this charged atmosphere, many Ikhwan families started to live together. One such example, as Praveen Swami reported in 1999, was the Prem Raj Nivas, a large bangalow of a rich Pandit, who had fled the valley in 90, which housed many Ikhwan members & their families. 'However, with terrorist attacks against militia members increasing during the past year, Prem Raj Nivas has become not so much a home as a fortress', observed Praveen Swami. According to one estimate , there were about 28,000 renegades used by the Army, but that number started to swiftly come down to a few with the growing militant attacks & official estrangement. In 1999, Gurbachan Jagat acknowledged that there were only 1200 renegades in the payroll of the govt.
Thus, from all sides, Ikhwan found itself isolated & resented with no one ready to accomodate them. They were in no position to return to their normal lives, nor were they fit to go back to their former militant parties & worst of all their masters too had dumped them. All the promises proved just a burst of hot air with the Police department too refusing to induct them in their ranks. They realised that all their lives, they had been marionettes in the hands of Indian agencies who had finally cut the strings off. Now, keeping in view the Defence Minister's remarks & the subsequent chain of 'unidentified' attacks, It could be well said that instead of apologizing to Kashmiris for the excesses done in the name of counterinsurgency, India seems to resurrect the dreaded Ikhwanis of yore, yet again. But, as already stated, Kashmir is the graveyard of countless dirty counterinsurgents & the freedom sentiment only gets emboldened by such tactics. However, the only losers in such dirty games are the renegades & their masters themselves.
